KNITTING WITH pure cashmere is such a treat, and here Jennie Atkinson has used the luxuriously light and indulgent Cashmered 3ply yarn to create a very special summer garment. Her short-sleeved top has a feminine shape, with its wide yoke and waist shaping. The yoke section is adorned with a lovely drop stitch pattern, which incorporates Swarovski beads for a subtle sparkle.
